I am a big Imperial player and favor the Interceptor over all the other ships as I like the way they fly. With Scum arriving shortly and the Starvyper being one of my favorite ships just behind Interceptors I looked to create a similarly styled list for Scum.

The following is what I came up with. It DOES NOT use Xizor's, IMO, crap pilot ability.

What are your thoughts on it?

Prince Xizor (35)
Veteran Instincts, Virago, FCS

Serissu (32)
Predator, “Heavy Scyk” Interceptor, Hull Upgrade, “Mangler” Cannon

Guri (33)
Predator

while FCS is a great upgrade, I can't imagine not taking sensors on a Starviper. Pre-manuever b-roll or boost with that dial? Shenanigans galore

Also, Xizor's ability is at least useful. Why? It's better than just green dice.

I did think about Adv. Sensors, but that costs me VI, which is probably a fair trade...

I know you like the elite arc dodgers, but I think you should use Xizor's ability a bit more. Trade in Serissu for some generic Cartel guys and you should be good. I don't think Serissu will last long, anyways. I think she'll die fast.

Serissu is the "interesting" choice and was potentially going to get replaced by a Y-wing. However, with PS8 and Predator, saving focus for use in defense he is almost as hard to kill as a Royal Guard Interceptor with upgrades.

A possible replacement is Kavil, with Predator and a Blaster Turret, which also allows for the Adv. Sensors and VI on Xizor.

Why not just use Bodyguard on Guri? It's less points than Serissu and you can just get the Kavil instead. Also, Kavil can suck up the hits from Xizor better, which makes Xizor's ability not wasted.

Since you like arc dodgers, you will probably like Adv. Sensors better, but if you were paranoid, you can get Jammers to make someone hit less often.

to be fair, Bodyguard is kind of an ass ability when you could put that focus to much greater use (then again, you'll never catch me on the side of green dice)

I would personally only ever use it on or in conjunction with Moldy Crow (so realistically only Palob), because then it isn't so much of a loss

That's why Guri is good to use for Bodyguard. She gets a free token assigned to her if within Range 1. That means she can always take a Focus action still. So, if within Range 1 of an enemy, she gets the free focus that she uses to boost someone's defense. She also did a Focus for her own use, too.

But you're banking on her being in range one of an enemy, and not wanting to use a focus for offense and a focus for defense

Imo, the 1 agility does not give sufficient returns to run that sort of risk. At worst, the extra focus will make her a less desirable target.

Why put Predator on Kavil when you have an Astromech slot open and can put R4 in there for one point cheaper and a full target lock? Seems the better choice. Not sure what you'd do with that last point though. Inertial Dampeners on Xizor maybe?

It can be situational. It's true. Maybe Guri isn't in target that round. Or maybe it's better to give a better pilot the extra die instead of Guri using both. If the other pilot has Focus already, then another green die isn't a bad deal.

I noticed the R4 on Kavil after I posted. I'd use the 1 pt to give Kavil VI for PS9

I do like this set up because I can't imagine Kavil being a very subtle individual

"WHISPER!? WHAT WHISPER!?"
